Make a tracked variable sample every 15 minutes?

Is it possible to plot a tracked variable value every 15 minutes instead of continuously, at the same time using the point graph? (this option is available when you add the time chart from a label, but not the point style plot... :( ).

Software Version:

FlexSim 21.1.4

flexsim 21.1.4 tracked variable time plot time graph

Hello @Enrique Elizaga,

You can create a process flow block that has a token circulate every 15 minutes. A statistics collector can watch for this as the trigger and then read the tracked variable at that time.

Hi @Jeanette F , I'm unaccepting this answer because I am able to "capture" the information on a trigger basis which fits perfectly with your very accurate answer. The problem I am having is the "visualization". It is plotting continuously but I would rather plot every hour or 30 minutes.

Hello, does changing the draw style to points help? If not, could you upload your model or a sample model of what you are trying to accomplish?
